I think you will find that any service provided by an airport, including airfares, is inflated. As an example, check parking rates at one of the downtown ramps and compare them to those at the airport. Check the cost of a hamburger at McDonald's compared to the food service at the airport.

Charging for delivering passengers to the airport makes about as much sense as another runway paid for by the federal government, whether it is needed or not.
